Low Priority Prescribing Report Low priority prescribing survey analysis December 2016 Introduction The CCGs are making some changes in relation to an area called ‘low priority prescribing’ in line with many other NHS organisations in Lancashire and nationally. The CCGs are proposing to stop the funding of certain types of medicines or treatments that are readily available ‘over the counter’ in pharmacies or on the shelves in shops and supermarkets. The types of medicines and treatments that fall into this category include: • Treatments for minor ailments, including medicines like paracetamol, ibuprofen, head lice lotion and indigestion tablets. • Treatments where there is little evidence that they have a real clinical benefit, including cough syrups, nasal congestion sprays, sore throat products and vitamin supplements. Gluten free bread and flour. In some cases there will still be exceptions to this, such as the prescribing of some of these treatments for people with long term conditions, for babies and children, for breastfeeding mothers or when caring for people at the end of their life. In order to ensure that the proposals are sound, and the new prescribing policies are appropriate, a survey has been undertaken to capture the views of the local population. The survey A total number of 1,400 people completed the online survey (Appendix 1). Hard copies of the survey were provided to participants on request. Not every respondent completed each question. The number of responses received is illustrated next to each question. Where do respondents live? Of the 1,400 people completing the survey, a total number of 1,176 people reported where they lived. A breakdown of this is illustrated within Table 1. People from across Preston, Chorley and South Ribble completed the survey, with the majority of the responders stating that they lived in the Chorley (PR7 and PR 6 localities). A number of responders (224 people) skipped this question. This may be that they were out of area, or didn’t want to divulge this information.

(medicines and treatments) A total of 681 comments have been received. Common themes in favour of stopping the prescribing of these medications and treatments include: These are available on the NHS These are cheaper to buy over the counter It will save the NHS a lot of money that can be used on other treatments Anything available over the counter that is cheaper than a prescription should be stopped Will save GP time (appointments) Patients told us: “A great idea” and “the sooner the better” “A sensible idea” “Will help reduce cost to the NHS” “Gob-smacked - I didn’t realise that you (NHS) prescribed all these” “Won’t need a GP appointment” There was, however, some concern about stopping the prescribing of these products. Common themes include: Some people on lower incomes may not be able to afford to buy these over the counter Elderly people may not be able to afford to pay for these People with long term conditions or serious allergies should have them on prescription Comments made by members of the public included: “Protection must be in place for people on low incomes” “The end of this will affect the most vulnerable” “These should be prescribed for the elderly” Question 9 - It would help us to understand why you are providing your feedback on this area - which of the below best describes you? (Tick all that apply.) Most people who responded to the survey described themselves as local residents.

  • South Ribble Borough Council
    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF SOUTH RIBBLE BOROUGH COUNCIL 1 Electoral Review of South Ribble Borough Council Introduction Each year, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England audits the levels of electoral imbalances arising in each English local authority area in order to establish whether there is a need for an electoral review. Imbalances can arise from changing demographics and new developments, and movement of electors between local authority areas, as well as within individual areas. There are two elements that the Commission takes into account when assessing the need for an electoral review. Both relate to the level of electoral representation within a local authority area. Electoral inequality exists when voters are either over-represented or under-represented by their local councillor(s) in relation to average levels of representation for the authority as a whole. Under the criteria adopted by the Commission, if either of the following conditions is found to exist, then consideration is given to the need for a review: • Any local authority with a division or ward that has an electoral variance in excess of 30%. This means a division or ward having at least 30% more (or less) electors in it than the average for the authority as a whole; and/or • Any local authority where more than 30% of the divisions or wards have an electoral variance in excess of 10% from the average for that authority. On the basis of the latest data available, our authority appears to meet the selection criteria, with 9 of our 27 wards (33%) having an electoral variance in excess of 10%.

  • Five Year Housing Supply Statement for Chorley
    Five Year Housing Supply Statement for Chorley May 2020 (Updated March 2021) Introduction 1. The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) sets out that local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirement. 2. This statement covers the five year period 1st April 2020 – 31st March 2025. It sets out the housing requirement for the five year period and assesses the land supply available to deliver the requirement. 3. Overall the statement concludes that there is sufficient land available across the Borough with a 11.2 year deliverable housing supply over the period 2020-2025. Five Year Housing Requirement 4. Central Lancashire Core Strategy Policy 4 sets out a housing requirement of 417 dwellings per annum in Chorley over the period 2010-2026 which is the starting point for calculating the five year supply. This equates to a total of 6,672 dwellings over the plan period. At April 2010 Chorley had prior under- provision of 162 dwellings, which Policy 4 requires the Council to make up over the remainder of the plan period. Therefore, at April 2010 the housing requirement for the Borough was 6,834 dwellings. 5. Table 1 sets out housing completions over the period 1st April 2010 to 31st March 2020. It identifies that 6,010 dwellings have been completed in the period and there is a surplus of 1,678 dwellings above the requirement for that period (taking into account the prior under-provision of 162 dwellings).

Settlement, Land-use and Communication at Cuerden, Central Lancashire: An Archaeological Case Study Oliver Cook and Ian Miller Abstract An archaeological investigation undertaken by Salford Archaeology in 2016-18 ahead of a large development at Cuerden in Central Lancashire yielded significant evidence for land use in the area from the prehistoric period through to the present day. In particular, the excavation uncovered a probable roundhouse and a well-preserved section of the Roman road between Wigan and Walton-le-Dale, together with rare physical evidence for medieval agriculture and settlement dating from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries that appears to have developed along the alignment of the Roman road. The remains of a cottage dating to the seventeenth century were also excavated, together with a regionally important assemblage of medieval and post- medieval pottery.
